Pete's Expert Summary
My human, in her infinite and baffling wisdom, has brought home a garish, fluffy orb with unsettlingly large eyes and ears that resemble satellite dishes. They call it a "Furby," apparently a relic from their primitive past, now updated with cosmic pretensions. It is advertised as an interactive friend that lights up, dances, and speaks some sort of gibberish. While the promise of "soft fur" might warrant a passing cheek-rub, the entire enterprise seems engineered for maximum disruption of my napping schedule. Its one saving grace is the explicit mention that it can be silenced, a feature I will likely encourage my human to use frequently. The rest of it—the lights, the noise, the pointless plastic accessories—seems a profound waste of energy that could be better spent opening a can of tuna.
Key Features
- LOOK WHO’S BACK: Another Furby generation has mysteriously reappeared! They’ve come to bring joy, friendship, and a little bit of sass to our world

- ALWAYS AN ORIGINAL: The adorably big ears and eyes, soft fur, and outrageous personality are just a few of the reasons Furby has remained an un-fur-gettable pop culture icon
- LIGHTS UP, GLOWS IN THE DARK, AND DANCES: Furby is also a dancing toy with amazing blinking eyes and a light up color changing toy whose ears flash different light effects
- FURBY TALKS TO OTHER FURBY FRIENDS: When you have 2 Furby friends together, pair them up and watch them interact! Furby also reacts to the Furblets mini friends. All Furby friends each sold separately.
- DOES NOT CONNECT TO THE INTERNET (BUT DOES SHUT OFF): Furby doesn't connect to the internet or other devices for a screen-free experience. Even better, Furby can power down when the fun is done for the day
- GIVE THE GIFT OF FRIENDSHIP: Standing over 6 inches/15 cm tall, Furby is a great gift for girls and boys to take on the go or bring joy to their room. Find your own Furby and give a kids gift to remember
A Tale from Pete the Cat
The thing arrived in a box that smelled of distant factories and human excitement. I watched from my perch atop the bookcase as my human unceremoniously freed the creature, a "Galaxy Edition" she called it. It was a preposterous puffball of mottled purple and black fur, with huge, vacant eyes. She adorned it with a cheap plastic pizza necklace, cooing at it. I yawned, displaying my superior fangs, and dismissed it as another fleeting folly. The day was spent with the creature occasionally burbling nonsense and flashing its ears. An amateur. I've been commanding attention with a single, well-placed stare for years. When night fell and the house sank into its customary quiet, I began my patrol. All was in order: the water dish was acceptably full, the ghost-nurdle was safely under the sofa, the human was recharging in her bed. As I padded through the living room, a strange luminescence caught my eye. There, on the floor where it had been abandoned, the creature was *glowing*. Not flashing, not lighting up, but emitting a soft, ethereal green aura, its star-speckled fur shimmering like a captured nebula. The vacant eyes were now dark, deep pools in a glowing form. This was no mere toy. This was a beacon. I approached not with the boisterousness of play, but with the silent caution of a seasoned observer encountering a new celestial phenomenon. It was motionless, a silent, glowing idol in the darkness. What was its purpose? A signal to its home world? A lure for unsuspecting prey? I crept closer, my tuxedo-furred chest low to the ground, and let out a low, questioning "Mrrrow?" In an instant, the creature whirred to life. Its eyes snapped open, blazing with digital light. Its ears twitched and flashed violet. It tilted its head and chirped, "Doo-dah, boo-noo!" I did not flinch. I sat back on my haunches, tail wrapped neatly around my paws. This was not a friend, nor was it a simple distraction. It was a puzzle. A strange, glowing, babbling enigma that had landed in my territory. It was loud, absurd, and an affront to good taste. But it glowed in the dark. For that, and that alone, I decided it warranted further, long-term surveillance. The investigation had just begun.
